Central Processing Unit Machine Cycle Fetch Decode Execute Store
Central Processing Unit Fetch Calls an instruction into memory
Central Processing Unit Decode Figures out what the instruction is trying to do
Central Processing Unit Execute Does the decoded instruction Add 2+2
Central Processing Unit Store Puts the answer 4 into memory for use by another instruction
Central Processing Unit Clock Cycle A Crystal Oscillator on the Motherboard It paces the machine cycle
Central Processing Unit Clock Cycle Measured in MHz or GHz Megahertz = 1,000,000 cycles/sec Gigahertz = 1,000,000,000 cycles/sec
Central Processing Unit Clock Cycle One clock cycle is calculated by dividing 1 by the MHz or GHz Example: (800 MHz CPU) 1/800,000,000 = 0.00000000125 or 1.25 nanoseconds (nano = billionth) (1.25 billionths of a second)
Central Processing Unit Clock Cycle The shorter the clock cycle the faster the processor
